leadership here and chicago.hing i would like to see there but it for the protest gives only different groups protesting right now for many, many different issues. >> john: can i circle back on that? you counted how many abandoned boarded-up storefronts? >> 1,000 abandoned storefronts on chicago's south and east side and that was just 79th street on chicago. you have 63rd street, your 47th street. the list goes on and on and even on the west side of chicago i counted 500 abandoned storefronts mainly in the african american community and it makes no sense. it's totally unacceptable. and right now you can fact-check the numbers. 85% of african american young men between the ages of 16 and 24 are unemployed in chicago right now. unemployed. the unemployment rate is off the charts when it comes to african american youth so something must be done to address those issues as well. >> sandra: and what we have heard from the african american community in chicago as they are fed up with the amount of spending on the migran

welcome to chicago. [applause] i've been thinking about what i was going to say for a couple of days. in fact, i woke up around 2:00 this morning thinking about what i would say. and these simple words came to mind. our whole entire history of the world, there has never been a moment like this, a moment so -- the horrors of genocide. a catastrophic moment, for sure. also a moment of unspeakable resistance from the palestinian people. that is why we are here today. we are here today, among other things to declare our unconditional solidarity with the palestinian people. [applause] so that nobody misunderstand what i mean by that, let me say [indiscernible] also i'm here to denounce the criminal outlaw government that is in washington, d.c. right now. because when you support -- correct me if i'm wrong. netanyahu just addressed congress. isn't that a national war criminal? just addressed a joint session of congress. so we know which side they are on. we know what side they are on. we are encouraged by what

jacqui heinrich life in chicago.d this on our bingo card but jackie nice to see you. amy klobuchar and senator said there will be tears of joy and the hall when the president walks in because he "literally save democracy and beat donald trump." but to the allies of the president tears of joy feel like tears of guilt for people who shoved him out of the door and bubbling over between obama-biden camps. axios said biden l.a. got into a heated when obama was gloating that biden figured out he had to quit. that prompted mike barnicle the l.a. to shoot back slew of ex-police with anonymous quotes in the paper saying next time put your name on it. biden heard about this and left about it a lot so we are watching tonight for messages the president might have to his so-called friends. >> what about your speech tomorrow, sir? how are you feeling about your speech? >> harris for her part is putting the finishing touches on her speech your car from the sounds of it, we should not expect much more meat on the bone policywise. >>

how excited is chicago and illinois to host the convention? guest: there are two or three chicagos.f you're going to be inside. this is a monumental event in a campaign that didn't even exist a month ago. if you are a chicagoan who doesn't have the privilege of being in here, you may just be put off by the traffic jams that may be happening, street closures and other annoyances of getting around downtown. i recognize it is a tale of two cities in a sense. host: you had some details in your story today for the sun-times about this week. the rollcall vote on tuesday, what did you learn? guest: i learned that building on the knowledge that kamala harris can attract these enormous crowds, they are turning a rollcall that would have been symbolic anyway since the ticket was virtually nominated on august 6, into a rally. on this stage behind us, there is going to be a dj, music, a few live remote watch parties. what would otherwise be a long thing that only junkies like you and me would love, the land of lincoln, deep dish pizza, as much as i am into that, and of course the home of presid

in chicago, where lawrence is. in terms of what has happened under biden-harris administration, crime is up 11%. violent crime. look at housing, when you look at what they are supposed to bring to the city, people boarding up houses and concerned about the protesters 100,000 plus. there are less cops in uniform. they have 400 cops from other cities coming in to help out. this is example of liberal city run by liberal democrat and democrats have gone awrie, not a great example if we give you keys to the country. >> lawrence: it is the oddacity to me, how many kids and parents i've sat down with. police say we need more cops to go after criminals. when the rich and powerful want to host, you send a calvary, there were five people shot and killed over the weekend. it happens every holiday and every weekend. they have been begging for help. democrats are in town and people that want to defund the police fleed the police to proftect their tails. they care about the issue. i had miss jacobs, her son was killed. no calls,

hello, chicago! hello, chicago! something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it? we are feeling it here in this arena, but it is spreading across this country we love. a familiar feeling that has been buried too deep for far too long. you know what i'm talking about. it is the contagious power of hope. [cheers and applause] the anticipation, the energy, the exhilaration of once again being on the cusp of a brighter day. the chance to vanquish the demons of fear, division and hate that have consumed us and continue pursuing the unfinished promise of this great nation, the dream that our parents and grandparents fought and died and sacrificed for. america, hope is making a comeback. [cheers and applause] but, to be honest, i am realizing that, until recently, i have mourned the dimming of that hope. maybe you have experienced the same feelings. that deep pit in my stomach, a palpable sense of dread about the future. and for me that mourning has been mixed with my own personal grief. the last time i was here in my hometown was to memorialize my mother, the woman who
